The main reason as to why do we carry excessive psychological
baggage throughout our lives is that we tend to not forgive others and hold
grudges for long.

The pertinent question is: What stops us?

And there is only one answer to that question and
that is: Our EGO (And EGO is the false self image made over the number of
years).

But the thing is, when we forgive, who is benefitted,
is it the forgiver or the forgiven? It is Both, as the stress carried in the
mind of the forgiver for so many years has been wiped clean and there is an
issuance of positive vibes resulting henceforth.

It results in Positive Wellbeing, peace and also in restoring
mental balance, So therefore it is propagated that one must adopt the practice
of Forgiving quickly, without dragging the things for long. And that will ease
of lot of pain, particularly caused due to miscommunication and
misunderstanding.

And forgiveness is not only to be practiced by not
only individuals but also by nations at the macro level.

The Nations must forgive each other and move forward
to a level of better understanding and world peace.

Practicing forgiveness will lead a psychological
well-being and lot of de-stressing.

The
Art of HO'OPONOPONO

Highlighting one of the method of forgiveness is the
technique of HO'OPONOPONO, popularized by Dr. Hew Len in treating the prisoners
in a hospital by never ever visiting them.

The method is extremely useful in cleaning the bad
memories in the subconscious and therefore it results in clarity and peace for
oneself.

How
to practice HO'OPONOPONO:

Setting the stage by accepting 100% responsibility
for the current situation.

The practice can be started by repeating the
following in the sequence.

STEP 1-I love you

STEP 2-I am sorry

STEP 3-Please forgive me

STEP 4-Thank you

The above method was followed by Dr. Hew Len in
treating the prisoners and the real case study was mentioned in the bestselling
book (2007), Zero Limits by Dr. Joe Vitale.

So the basic message is one can follow any method of
practicing forgiveness as one desires but the ultimate objective is to have
peace of mind which gets disturbed due to haunting past memories.
